Is there a French version of the AP stylebook and if so have they disallowed the word paramour?
Or do the French get a pass when it comes to disassociating their language from reality?

And what do they say?

It goes something like "Wokety-woke, wokety-woke, my feelings, wokety-woke,"

A Mistress is something a Mister and a mattress.

We are much less capable of reigning reining in the reproductive impulse due to [...]

To reign: To rule (< Latin: regnum, rex)

To rein in: To apply reins (attached to the bridle of a horse); metaphorically: to restrain.

Class dismissed!

Men are driven by their own biology to reproduce as often as possible

Why is the birth rate at an all-time low?

Because men are driven by their own biology to engage in behavior which, throughout most of time, has tended to result in reproduction.

Or are you attempting to imply that the current low birth rate in most Western countries refutes Darwin?

Regards,

Maybe it’s just me! Not once did I ever screw around on a woman! I’m even talking about the women I had yet to solidify the relationship with. Oh... I had opportunities. But, to me, it came down to the manner of your character. Look at yourself in the mirror. Are you “honest” or “dishonest”. Are you “loyal” or “disloyal”. I look at myself in the mirror and I am not ashamed. I may be an old geyser now, but I’ve NEVER been a dishonest disloyal scumbag... and I find that something to be proud of.

“Friend”—that’s rather ambiguous and unimaginative. Should be “side action.”

“I believe a euphemism from the past was “great and good friend.”

Edith Wharton in “The Age of Innocence” refers to a man’s mistress relationship as “an alternate establishment”.
